Problem with Task Scheduler

Windows XP >> Problem with Task Scheduler Problem with Task Scheduler
I have been using windows task scheduler successfully for about a
month. I was scheduling the running audio flies which were recording of

my voices. I just tried to add another task. I start to put in the
password. Once I put in the first letter of the password the next
button fades out. It stayed faded even after I put in the password
twice. Then I get a message saying that the task most likely won't
run but I could try again but I need to be careful about the task I
choose.

The scheduler worked up until that point. Does anyone have any idea
what I am doing wrong?

Try creating a very, very simple task for testing purposes. You
could do this, for example:
- Click Start / Run / notepad c:\windows\TSTest.bat {OK}
- Type these lines:
@echo off
echo %date% %time% >> c:\TSTest.txt
- Save & close the file.
- Create a new scheduled task. It should invoke c:\Windows\TSTest.bat.
- Get the Task Scheduler to run this task.
- Check the contents of the file c:\TSTest.txt. It's supposed
to contain the date & time when the task ran.
- If it works, build up from here.
